Tourism Ministry

After few months I need to go to Thailand. The program was the entrepreneur’s summit for Asian entrepreneur. I was called to give an hour session for the challenges for the entrepreneurs in the field of marketing. I had prepared a lot for it. The team from Nepal had already gone but I was asked to come later as my program was 3 days later.
Buddha Airlines started its flight since 2015 to Thailand. I got the ticket. The flight was on Sunday. All my preparations were completed and I planned to visit Thailand for a week. For that I started the required homework. I was fine till Saturday.

Sunday early I need to reach to airport. I went and there I was asked to sit in the seat. On the side of my seat it was empty. But after few minutes I saw a person who I recognized. She was Rashmee Poudel and we used to call her by double E i.e. “ee” in our college days. Obviously she was going to Thailand even though I asked. She was confused and unable to recognize me. I didn’t care because I didn’t tell her my introduction. I was different in these five years especially in my outlook.  

For more than 5 minutes we were silent. She surprisingly laughed and looked at me and screamed loud “Oh POTO!!!” I felt shy everyone in the plane was looking at me. She was employed in Tourism Ministry. She was section officer and she was able to pass the exams by LOKE SEWA. She also said, “As I am in Tourism Ministry and does not feel I am in government service. Every one there is punctual, intelligent and accountable to their task.” She took her Samsung Tab III and updated facebook status.

She is going to Thailand in the invitation by the Government of Thailand for the tourism promotion of Lumbini. Rashmee was looking to the area Lumbini, and Buddhism promotion in foreign country. I was glad to know that decentralization of task in the government services. In those days, only the ministers used to go to foreign countries. She will be meeting to the government officers in Thailand and talk about the monastery that Government of Thailand had constructed in Lumbini area. Also she will be involved in the discussion forum about the “Buddha – God of Peace”. Rashmee had done similar program in Indonesia before.

As we talked we even didn’t know the time has passed so fast. We are in Thailand and for her there were few people to welcome her. We went our own ways.
 Facts:1.      Rashmee completed here MBA here in Nepal and gave exam in LOK SEWA. She knew that Tourism Ministry is awesome place to work among the government jobs.
2.    There were 1680 people to fight for only 2 vacant positions in Tourism Ministry and she was selected from those many.
3.    Rashmee has got huge pressure to marry and there are many boys in line who wants to make Rashmee as life partner. Rashmee is in search of guy who really is trustworthy and love her. As she is betrayed by a guy she loved named Bikram.
4.    Rashmee visited almost all countries of Asia.
5.    She is doing Masters in sociology as well.
